About The Work
Every Tree in Town is a series that documents every spruce tree in the old mill town of Willimantic, Connecticut. The series of 1017 photographs was created as Matthew Jensen systematically walked the 89 miles of streets within the city limits and documented some 2187 trees. The trees in the series are cultural artifacts from the town's industrial past and the Victorian-era immigrant population who came from Northern Europe, where the trees are native. Today, Willimantic's population is a third of what it was in its heyday, and the pervasive trees remain as the last living link to the past. The series was featured on the front of the Hartford Courant and was curated by the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art for an exhibition in Ridgefield, Connecticut.
